Bring Binoculars.
Blimey. I'm not sure much would get me to go back. Luckily, my lad lives in Lyon, and I'm hoping my daughter will come out when she's finished her studies.
Very nice. I can only imagine the tempetes in Gironde. We have the wind to deal with here. I've yet to visit the region, but my Mum, who was a massive Francophile, would always rave about how beautiful Île d'Oléron and the surrounding area is.
That's a nice part of the world, too. Where are you based.?
We are not far from Prades, about 40 minutes west of Perpignan along the Têt Valley.
It was a pretty good display that night. I'm hopeful for tonight. This was another good one. youtu.be/1Ke4zQYqT7Y?...

Perfect. I shot this one night when the skies were going mad here. There has been no digital tinkering with this video. youtu.be/_fJ7CM_MMCE?...

It's simply stunning if you're far enough away from any light pollution. Some evenings here in the Winter can be so clear. I remember one New Year's Eve, leaving our friend's place and zig-zagging our way home under the most incredible skies I have ever seen. The forecast is looking good...
I'm torn between buying a telescope and a drone right now. I'm planning a timelapse video tonight, as the Milky Way might be visible, and the moon is but a slither. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the weather, as a few planets should be visible.
